In this three-part episode, Dr. Alfiee chats with the authors of the book African American Families: Research, Theory, and Practice Faye Z. Belgrave, Ph.D., Trenette Clark Goings, Ph.D., and Heather A. Jones, Ph.D.
We invited the authors to the show to share a traditional academic perspective on best practices in supporting the emotional development of Black youth. As Dr. Alfiee discusses this new book with each of the authors, she uncovers the motivation behind their work and how their unique areas of expertise were woven into the publication. Listen and learn more about the term racial socialization is, why it matters for Black youth and how crucial it is in the upbringing of Black children. You'll also gain new insights into important conversations to have with children of diverse backgrounds.
Tune in now so you can learn more about how you can best support and nurture your child in the fight toward dismantling racism, improving equity and inclusion, and promoting social racialization. This episode is one of our more academic leaning features but the authors make their material highly accessible and relevant for teens, parents and families.
